Ash enjoys having his Charizard back, and feels that he should continue reuniting with his lost Pok?mon.

Heading back to the small-town gym between Saffron and Celadon City, he is shocked to learn that the gym was shut down three years ago, when the Pok?mon League made an inspection and closed all unlicensed gyms. Nonetheless, he tracks down the owner of the gym, Anthony, who kept his Primeape for him for years. Ash gets Primeape back, but the creature has been so strengthened over the years that he is virtually uncontrollable. Ash feels the need to take Primeape back to several key training areas. Returning to the mountain range where he caught Primeape in the first place, Ash lets Primeape unleash his energy. But Primeape runs off. Searching the mountains for him, Ash finally corners the ape on a ledge. When he tries to coax him back, recalling the good time(s) they shared in the four weeks they were together, Primeape dismisses him and socks him in the eye.

Ash?s Internet service goes down after he forgets to pay his bill. In order to use the web, he goes to the Goldenrod Pok?mon Center and uses the PC. Nurse Joy insists that he cannot use it for personal use ? he can only deposit and withdraw Pok?mon and items. Ash covers up by insisting that he is making a team switch, and he randomly exchanges a Pok?mon on his team for one of his creatures at Oak?s lab. When he gets home, he realizes he deposited Typhlosion and withdrew Snorlax. The Pok?mon Center has closed for the day, and as it is a Saturday, they will not open tomorrow. Ash must make the best of his predicament by reluctantly training his Snorlax, which has remained in the PC for approximately ten years. Naturally, Snorlax is too lazy to do anything. The next day, Ash and Misty go out together, leaving their Pok?mon at home. Snorlax?s Pok? Ball opens, and he wreaks havoc in the apartment. When Ash returns, Snorlax has cleaned out every scrap of food in the kitchen. Sick and tired of having to care for this behemoth, Ash decides to release Snorlax. He does not inform Snorlax of this fact, who remains blissfully ignorant. Ash takes Snorlax to the Ilex Forest to let him go, but realizes that he just cannot betray one of his own Pok?mon like that. He apologizes for wanting to get rid of Snorlax, and the next day, he deposits him again, getting Typhlosion back.

Guest Voice: Kathy Griffin as Edna Miyazaki

Giovanni gives Jessie and James a mission of utmost importance - they must infiltrate the Mossdeep Space Center and find out information about their newest computer technology. However, the only way into the protective chamber containing the information is with a retinal scan, and the only people the scan will recognize are two female Space Center employees. Jessie and James first kidnap those employees and hold them hostage at headquarters, where the Team Rocket scientists make perfect duplicate contact lenses of their eye patterns. However, Jessie and James must now return to the Space Center and infiltrate the protective chamber, and the only way to do it is to go in disguise. This means that, for the first time in years, James has to dress in drag. Initially, he flat-out refuses, but some coaxing from Team Rocket?s top disguise maker, Edna Miyazaki, convinces him in the end that he has to follow the assignment?s orders, regardless of what they ask of him. Jessie and James succeed in getting the information Giovanni wants, but after the mission, James still feels uncomfortable. It?s almost as if he wants to continue wearing feminine disguises again. He repeatedly tells himself that he?s past all that now, but something still nags inside of him. He tells this to Meowth, who thinks James is losing his masculinity. James worries that if he starts to obsess over his old preoccupation with crossdressing, he and Jessie may grow further apart. But still, he can?t stop himself from having certain thoughts. Nearly coming close to trying on Jessie?s outfit in the locker room, James slaps himself in the face and screams at himself to get a grip. Meowth, seeing that his friend is having psychological problems, takes James to the Team Rocket surveillance room and shows him video footage of his F-class crossdressing missions. James knows that he doesn?t want to revert to that, and realizes that it was Edna Miyazaki who kept giving him all these female disguises - not one mission ever really required it. Taking his anger out on Miyazaki, James feels much better after yelling at her, and reassures his masculinity to himself and to Jessie.
